Site Plan
The site plan is one of the most important aspects of a building permit application. A well-prepared site plan should show what uses are proposed for a site and should answer many of the questions which may be asked about the proposal.

When preparing your site plan make sure that the plan:
Drawn to scale
Includes a north arrow
Includes property lines
Shows all dimensions of the lot and structures
Shows appropriate topography
Shows site limitations
Includes all structures (existing and proposed) and setbacks from property lines
Includes appropriate roads, driveways, or parking areas
Includes any proposed storage areas
Shows appropriate utilities or wastewater system
Drawn clear and legible
